Zul'ra was very curious. Why were the Dragon Aspect so powerful? A simple blessing could keep the entire Night Elves race healthy and immortal. If the power of protection could be so arbitrary, then how come the Titans of the Pantheon, the source of the power of protection, were wiped out by Sargeras with a single blow?

Naisha felt a certain fondness for Zul'ra because of his appearance, physique, and polite manner, and having accepted his help, she provided thorough answers to his questions. The blessing of the Dragon Aspects was bestowed upon Nordrassil, and the cultivation of Nordrassil, in fact, occurred around the same time as the founding of the Watcher. ♖👤 ♔😾

As mentioned earlier, Nordrassil was planted ten thousand years ago to protect the second Well of Eternity, which was created by a legendary night elf using the water from the Well of Eternity he had stored. This night elf was none other than the controversial Illidan Stormrage, the brother of Archdruid Malfurion Stormrage.

Unlike Malfurion, who pursued the path of Druid and led many races in a resolute fight against the Burning Legion when demons were lurking, Illidan Stormrage pursued the path of Arcane. If it were just the path of Arcane, there would be nothing else to it, but his attitude in resisting the Burning Legion was extremely wavering.

Illidan once slaughtered his own people and swore allegiance to Sargeras, the leader of the Burning Legion, and Queen Azshara, who abandoned his people, from whom he drew immense power. Fortunately, in the end, he helped his brother and fought to close the demonic portal Well of Eternity.

The closed portal played a crucial role in the victory, and Illidan could have escaped trial because of it. However, unable to overcome his mana addiction, he poured his hidden Waters of the Well of Eternity into a lake on Twin Peaks and injured Jarod Shadowsong, the commander of the resistance and a hero of the Night Elves, who discovered him at the time.

The second portal to eternity was sealed by the Dragon Aspects using Nordrassil, and Illidan was imprisoned. His guard was Maiev Jarod's sister, who was then a priestess of Elune. Maiev Shadowsong, along with her sisters including Naisha, formed the Watcher to capture and imprison the most heinous criminals.

For ten thousand years, Maiev Shadowsong and the Watcher had spent their time capturing criminals. Until recently, with the Burning Legion's resurgence, the Watcher Jailer went on a mission. When she returned to the crypt where the prisoners were held, she found her sisters lying dead everywhere, and all the prisoners had escaped, especially Illidan.

After some investigation, Maiev the Watcher came to a shocking conclusion: all her sisters had been killed by their own kind. There were also traces of Elune's power at the scene, something only High Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind could have done. Maiev was furious.

"Why do you think Tyrande Whisperwind would defeat your companions?" Zul'ra blinked as he watched Naisha was getting more and more off-topic and agitated. He had heard Gaodier talk about the stubbornness of these female Night Elves, and now he heard her admit that she was still watching the criminals when the demons came.

"She probably wanted to release the prisoners inside because the demons came. Illidan did help us defeat a great demon, but he also turned into a demon." Naisha Zilan's face flushed with anger, but she could also sense the consequences of her and her sisters' stubbornness, so she composed herself and continued her story.

"That guy has completely turned into a demon. You understand, I'm not talking about his mind, but his physical form. He's grown demonic horns, wings, and hooves," Naisha explained in detail.

"Yes, I understand. That guy is indeed very evil. It would definitely not be safe to leave him outside." Zul'ra nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood, as Naisha explained repeatedly for fear that he might not understand. To be honest, he didn't like the Watcher ' stubbornness and barbarity, but they had indeed done a good thing by constantly chasing Illidan away, preventing him from completely shaking off Northrend.

"Yes, that's right. That guy not only turned into a demon, but he also got involved with those evil Naga. Do you know Naga? They're actually our Kaldorei's distant relatives, the group that used to follow Azshara. They're disgusting..." Naisha's expression softened slightly when Zul'ra agreed, but then extreme discomfort returned to her eyes, which were surrounded by light-colored tattoos.

"Hmm..." Zul'ra wisely nodded without speaking, letting her recount the encounter with the Naga during the pursuit of Illidan, the conflicts with Orcs and Trolls on the Broken Isles, and her eventual kidnapping.

"It was all caused by that demon. I don't know how Master Maiev is doing now. I will never let that demon get away with this." Naisha spoke of her kidnapping with a mixture of worry and anger. She was worried about her mistress's safety, and angry at the demon.

"I just remembered something, Naisha. I need to go see your sisters now." Zul'ra looked at Naisha, who had finally finished speaking, and let out a breath as she stood up.

"What? What did you remember?" Naisha watched the Trolls get up to visit her sisters and sensed something.

"It's just to confirm some medical conditions. Oh, by the way, I wanted to ask you, have you had a feeling, a very special feeling?" Zul'ra looked at the female Dark Night who stood up, and asked with a smile as she led her into the Bat Nest.

"What special feeling?" Naisha followed the tall Trolls, somewhat confused by his description.

"I feel like something is missing," Zul'ra tried to describe.

"Does it refer to Nordrassil?" Naisha made a keen judgment.

"That's right." Zul'ra snapped his fingers and led Naisha quickly down from the cabin to the room where the female Dark Knights were resting.

"Nordrassil holds the immortality and strength of our race; losing it is an unbearable loss to us." Naisha said dejectedly as she walked to the room where they were resting.

"But we don't regret it, because it was what we should do. The world is in crisis, and we have a responsibility to protect it."

Zul'ra pulled the hatch open, the sound interrupting Naisha's words and waking the seven women resting inside. They were in a light sleep after taking the potion, but their alertness remained high, and they immediately woke up upon hearing the situation.

"Don't worry, sisters, Zul'ra is here to check on your condition." Naisha didn't understand Zul'ra's words. Looking at her sisters who had woken up in the cabin, she quickly comforted them. They then lay back down in their hammocks and whispered to Naisha in the Kaldorei language.

Zul'ra went up to each of the seven female Dark Nights and asked them how they were feeling. Were they in pain, had no appetite, and felt tired, but couldn't sleep? Did they seem very anxious, as if they had lost something important? The female Dark Nights nodded in confirmation, based on their own experiences.

"I need to prescribe some new medicine for you. Drink it before you sleep." Zul'ra pursed her lips. It was magic addiction; the aging of the female Night Elf had an element of magic addiction, albeit a very slight one. In that case, the dragon's blessing had some effect on the Kaldorei, but the greater effect should be on Nordrassil, or the Well of Eternity beneath Nordrassil.
